PROHIBITION IN AMERICA.

[To THE EDITOR OF TER " SPECTATOR."]

SIR,—As a constant reader of the Spectator I have been interested in the communications on the subject of Prohibition in the United States. The clipping enclosed is from the Boston Evening Transcript, July 10th. The city of Malden is a few miles north of Boston. " Speak-easies " is a term new to me, and no doubt appropriate.—I am, Sir, &c.,

Cambridge, Mass., U.S.A., July 12th,
